Alan C. Baird

Phoenix, United States

Alan C. Baird enjoys referring to himself in the third person, and was inordinately pleased when ABC-TV's "Max Headroom" series purchased his debut student film, widely hailed as "the most uncommercial piece of ____ in Michigan State's history." His Screenwright(R) screenplay formatter won a $3,333 cash award from Sun Microsystems, and he's written screenplays that finished in the quarterfinals, semifinals and finals of various international competitions. Alan is a Harvard Book Prize winner who authored "facebookworm" and coauthored a print/web/wap project entitled "9TimeZones.com," which was included in the Whitney Biennial. His work has appeared in eight anthologies and may be found in various periodicals, including Playboy, PC, and Britain's Guardian and Screenwriter. Born down east, he now lives just a stone's throw from Phoenix... which is fine and dandy, until the stones are thrown back.

Even though this European nation has existed for more than a thousand years, over 70% of the country "vanished" after World War One. Today, the exiles' great-great-great-grandkids still think in Magyar.
